Flew out today, so first time back in England for years I manage to catch men against boys home to County rather than one of our few high scoring wins of the season. fml. Lovely surprise once I turned phone back on, but realistically still gone.

It's basically a call up without actually being at a training camp I suppose, commentators saying they can request he has five days rest before their game.
I don't think it should be there as his personal bully pulpit either, whereas when the Green Brigade wanted to do a massive tifo as they did good luck to them, so not exactly no politics at football, just not in the way DV does. Bottom up, not top down (ooeer).
